Good evening, lightman....sounds like you got hit. And the snow is moving from one side of the yard to the other, and back again.
Stay warm and safe.

Spilling Through My Fingers
March 16, 2017
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand . . . ?
Isaiah 40:12
After I clumsily knocked over my glass on the restaurant counter, the spilled beverage began to cascade over the edge and onto the floor. Out of sheer embarrassment, I tried to catch the waterfall with cupped hands. My efforts were largely unsuccessful; most of my beverage rushed through my fingers. In the end, my upturned palms held little more than a meager tablespoon each, while my feet stood in puddles.
My life feels similar on many days. I find myself scrambling to solve problems, oversee details, and control circumstances. No matter how hard I try, my feeble hands are incapable of managing all the pieces and parts. Something invariably slips through my fingers and pools on the floor at my feet, leaving me feeling overwhelmed. No amount of contorting my hands or squeezing my fingers more tightly together makes me able to handle it all.
Yet God can. Isaiah tells us that God can measure the globes watersall the oceans and rivers and rainin the hollow of His hands (40:12). Only His hands are large enough to hold them all. We neednt try to hold more than the tablespoon Hes designed our hands to carry. When we feel overwhelmed, we can entrust our cares and concerns into His capable hands.
Help me, Lord, to stop trying to hold everything in my hands, but instead to trust my needs and concerns into Your perfect care.
We can trust God to handle the things that overwhelm us.
The truth of Gods intimate care for us is grounded in Gods self-revelation, the Bible. In the Discovery Series booklet How Can I Know God through His Book? David Egner writes, Although the Bible was written by men like Moses and Luke and Paul, it is the self-revelation of God. He is the Author behind the authors. And what He says reflects who He is. To know God we have to read His book; . . . to see Him on every page, above every event, in every place and circumstance, and overseeing the choice of every person who makes his way into the sacred pages of biblical history.

Good evening, radu...((HUGS))...nice weather? Any rain coming?
I woke up to -2 this morning....a tad shocked. It was in the 50s in the kitchen and the sink pipes are on an outside wall and I leave a cabinet door open just in case. It wasn’t supposed to be that cold.

Howdy Kathy.
Holy cow! That was a shocking thing to wake up to! I gather the pipes were ok? Good thing you left the cabinet doors open.
Not quite that cold here but it was still cold. It was 37 when I took Pixie (new kitteh) to the vet for her tests and shots. At least it was sunny and not spitting snow today.
We should have rain Friday night but with warmer temps. No snow threat this time.
